GRAND FORKS LETTER.
Morris as seen BY visitor.-A bustling vii
laue with ooed ,ycepaesa

Morris as seen BY visftor.-A bustIing vii
!age with good prospects.
We started about one month ago
ago from Fillmore county on trip
west through western Minnesota and
into North Dakota. Our Grst stop
after leaving the drouth stricken dis
t1ict of southern Minnesota, was Nor
Tis, where we found the farmers en-
joylng good crops and having plenty
of hay and grain for their stock. We
were in Morris nearly three weeks
and will say that we were very much
pleased with the looks Of that little
city and think 1t has a bright future
it. A noticeable fact is the fine school
buildings of which there are two
which compare favoYably with cities
of much larger size. The several re-
ligious denominations are we'll repre-
scented and have SOME good church
buildings. AS hunters paradise it
cannot be beaten, as prairie Chi ekens,
ducks and geese Inbound in great
numbers. We left Morris
on the Manitoba road for Grand Forks
via Breckenridge. The country be-
tween Breckenridge and Evansville is
rolling prairie with not a tree in sight
for miles. 1t seems to be sparsfy set
tied as yet. We arrived at Moorhead
for breakfast and let me tell you
right here that Moorhead has one of
the finest hotels that we have seen in
any Minnesota town, we refer to the
Grand Pacific. When we left Fargo
we began to see some of the wonders
of northern Oak ota, the principal of
which is their wheat crop;and it kept
growing larger till we arrived here.
Threshing has just fairly commenced
and the yield is from 80 to 40 bushels
of wheat to the acre. T here are
hundreds of acres that are not yet
stacked, but we understand that the
way great many do is to thresh out
of the shock.
Grand Forks is thriving city of
nearly 5000 inhabitants and has all
the airs of metropolitan city, hav-
ing electric lights, water works and
gas. There is talk of putting in a
street railway soon. Steamboats, run
from here to Winnipeg and up to Far
60. you know the river runs north
here. The Duluth & Northern rail-
road is building big bridge across
the river, preparatory to entering the
city. The river cuts the town in two
but Grand Forks west is great deal
the larger place. The great Northern
Territorial Exposition opens here
Tuesday and the city begins to wear
a gala appearance. .Laboring men of
all kinds are scarce here and any man
that wants work can get it and good
wages. This is emphatically busy
point and every man you meet is a
typical Dakota rustler from the word
90. We saw several farms that had
nine settings of grain to every 40
acres. Grand Forks has as fine pub
Tic buildings, churches and school
houses as you will find in any city.
After we get acquainted more we will
write a descriptive letter of Grand
Forks and the Territorial Fair.

An Ocean Horror.

The sloop Sara was capsized in the
Gulf Of California on July 25th, and all
on board except the captain and four
sailors, who saved themselves by climbing
on the bottom of the boat, perlshed. The
vessel contained the captain, his wife and
children, niece, and Entladgo, superin-
tendent of the Boston copper mine at
Santa Rosita, and crew of five men.
On the second day the bodies of those
drowned arose to the surface and were de-
voured by sharks, while the husband and
father looked on the awful sight with
horror. On the 30th two of the sailors
became crazy and, jumping overheard,
were Immediately devoured by sharks.
The captain and two sailors remained on
the bottom of the vessel eight days, sus-
tanning life by catching turtles that would
come near them, and sucking their blood.
They were rescued in "a most pitiable con-
dition by the fishing sloop Refugio, and
transferred to the Balee.

Horrible Railroad Accident.


A terrible disaster. one which surpasses
any previous railway accident in this
country, occurred on the Toledo, Peoria
s. Warsaw railway Thursday. An excur-
sion train composed of seventeen coaches
and sleepers, crowded with passengers
from Peoria and other points along the
line was wrecked two and half miles
east of Cha.sworth, Livingston co,;nty,
Illinois, by running into burning bridge
The engines were completely wrecked,
together with ten coaches and the bag
gage car Engineer McClintock was in
stantly killed, two fremen and the other
engineer escaping serious injury. The
ten cars were piled on top of the two en-
gines, being telescopcd and piled across
and on top of each other 1t is miracu-
lous how any one escaped, as the coaches
and engines did not occupy more than two
car lengths of the track. In one coach
not person escaped. In another only
lady. As the dead were laid along side
of each other, out in the corn fields, there
were ready hands to take them into Chats
worth, while some of the wounded were
carried to Piper City. One hundred and
eighteen was the awful pile of the dead,
while the wounded numbers four times
that number The full number Of dead
cannot be told for days.

Suicide of VIM. p. SchuSslor,

News was received here 10y telegram
on Wednesday morning of the suicide at
Butte of VIM. P. Schussler, at one time
resident of this city and engaged with
H. M. Sloan in the management of the
city meat market. Since that time Mr.
Schussler had resided at Butte, where he
was engaged as representative of the
Butte Miner under the Zeigenfuss man
agement, finally drifting into the saloon
business. From Helena Independent
special we CLEAN the following particulars
of the sad affair: For year or more
Schussler has been managing the Arcade
saloon on lower Main street, owned by
Henry Miller. He has been perfectly
square in the transaction of the business,
and so far as Miller knows has turned in the
receipts each day till last Saturday, when
he made losing at cards. That night
and since he has avoided Miller. The lat
ter heard of the gambling, and to fri ight-
en- Schussler into better behavior, left
word he would have him arrested if he
didn't come to see him and settle Schus-
sler went to bed about 10 o'clock Tuesday
night in his room in the second story of
the Arcade building, requesting the night
bar keeper to call him on going off his
shift. He was called early but did not
answer. About o'clock Miller came to
the Arcade, and being unable to get an
answer to his knocks at Schusslcr's door,
called policeman and forced it. They
found, Schussler lying on the bed covered
with blood, almost dead. with bulldog
revolver in his hand. He had shot HIM
self on the side of the head in front of
the right ear, and the bullet came out at
the top of the head. He expired just be-
tore noon, without regain1ng consciousness.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of
suicide. No other trouble than the one
mentioned is known to have existed.
